We all know that our fingerprints are a surefire
way to identify a person. Did you know that your teeth can be used to identify
you as well? Every person has unique crevices and markings on their teeth, when
you bite something or someone, they can actually match up your bite the same as
they would a finger or footprint. This kind of forensic dentistry is used to
identify persons who are victims of crimes or accidents. They also use this kind
of forensic dentistry to identify criminals. Ted Bundy was identified by teeth marks he left on
one of his victims. It is even possible for them to access your dental records
to find out what kind of dentistry you’ve had done to try and change your bite. Aside
from the criminal aspect of dental forensics, it has also been used in
identifying ancient human or animal remains. It’s just interesting to me all the
things we don’t realize that make us individual and unique. Any thoughts?
